EDITORIAL: Enough of Ma’s half-truths

Ma likes to brag that his cross-strait policies are endorsed by the US. At a recent hearing of the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kin Moy said the US supports Taiwanese engagement with China “at a pace that is consistent with the aspirations of the people on Taiwan.” Is Ma again telling a half-truth?

The protests in the legislature have shown Ma that the public are not comfortable with the way he has tried to ram the trade pact through the legislature.
